The whole focus of looking for a competitive edge in trading has
always been in the area of technology. Anyone can buy the newest
computer technology and software, so there is no real advantage
that you can gain that someone else won't have the next day. The
real edge will be gained not by the improvement of technology, but
by the improvement of the men and women who are trading. We are
all biomechanical devices, unique and complex, and as human
machines we can improve. Everyone realizes that exercising our
physical bodies will improve them. These changes are forged in the
fire of our will, which is in fact a state of mind. If the mind controls
the body, which is matter, why then can't the mind control the psychological
environment that is the market? The market is not physical—
it is mental. Each tick that appears in a real-time chart had its
origin in the mind of a trader before the electronic pulse displayed his or her intentions to buy or sell. The psychological effects of fear
and greed are states of mind and are not part of our physical reality.
You can't touch fear, greed, or other emotions, yet they have an
undeniable effect on you in your corporeal world.
By understanding the mind-body connection of trading you
will achieve a tempo of performance you have never before experienced.
This is the edge that every trader in the world is looking for.
Once you seek out and learn the mental and physical disciplines of
biomechanical trading, you will have an edge that others only
dream of. The edge is not in the box. The edge lies in the improvement
of your mental and physical control and mastery of your own
emotions.
